Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

As Pedro once said, biased people never change.

Kathryn never expected her father to change. She had long since given up on their relationship.

Even so, as she lay in bed, enduring the pain, her eyes welled up with tears. A deep sense of injustice washed over her, and she couldn't hold back her sobs.

Pedro walked in and saw her crying.

He sat beside her, pulling out a tissue to gently wipe her tears. "They're not worth your tears," he said softly.

Kathryn sat up and buried herself in his arms. "Pedro, you're all I have."

He held her close, his voice filled with tenderness. "Kathryn, I will always be here for you. No matter what happens, I'll stand by your side. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you. If you need to cry, then cry. Let it all out."

This was her final farewell to the past.
